*any school where class grades are based on the “curve” *

Yes and no…

Yes, if you’re attending a school where your classmates are mostly super achievers.

No, if you’re attending a school where your classmates are smart, but not overwhelmingly ACT 32 - 36 range. If your classmates are more in the ACT 28 - 33 range (with a few ACT 34-36), then the curve can be far less harsh.

*The “Curve” would be interesting. It would be interesting to know, is it the school or the teacher that decides on using a curve.

In college (and probably most high schools), the teacher determines his/her own curve.
